Account of the siege of the Iranian embassy in London to make a statement about Arabs in Iran. Well written and nicely read by author. Quite a bit of quoting vulgarity as the siege grew longer. Intended to be a 24 hour operation it ended up being six days and the relationship between captors and hostages became more complex.

Terrific stuff from Manintyre again, as you’d expect

Starts very slowly but then picks up pace. An intensely minute by minute retelling, forensic yet empathetic.
